Proton e.MAS 5 twin launched in Indonesia


JAKARTA: The all-electric Geely EX2 (known as the Proton e.MAS 5 in Malaysia) has been launched in Indonesia.

Geely Auto also confirmed it has started local assembly of the EX2 in Indonesia, with 46.5% local content, marking a key milestone in its localisation strategy.

The Chinese automaker said Indonesia is one of its strategically significant overseas markets, serving both as a key right-hand-drive market and a gateway to Southeast Asia.

As the third model in Geely Auto's local production line-up – following the Geely Starray EM-i and EX5 – the EX2 underscores the Chinese automaker's dedication to strengthening the local electric vehicle ecosystem and its long-term commitment to Southeast Asia.

The EX2 delivers a "smart space urban car" experience, blending expressive design, intelligent technology, and a responsive, enjoyable driving experience.

Comprehensive chassis adjustments tailored to Indonesia's roads and driving habits ensure comfort on uneven streets and optimal stability in urban conditions.

The blind spot detection system is specifically engineered for heavy motorcycle traffic, while the 540-degree transparent chassis view is unique in its class.

The local assembly of the EX2 in Indonesia sees Geely Auto working closely with local partners, and the programme facilitates technology transfer, workforce development, and the growth of the domestic supply chain.

Assembly quality is ensured via the Geely Manufacturing Enterprise System (GMES).

In 2025, the EX2 topped China's car sales across all categories, with 460,000 units sold that year and 530,000 sold since its debut.

In Brazil, the model became the second best-selling EV (electric vehicle) within 16 days of its launch.
